History has embraced the Cœur de Béarn with passion! With its châteaux standing witness to conquests and royal presence, bastides from the Middle Ages and fortified villages show us the real character of this country.

Whether you are a family, couples or friends, find yourself a home from home: flats, guest houses, hotels, campsites, group accommodation or special accommodation. There is something for everyone and especially for all budgets. Cœur de Béarn welcomes you for a weekend or a longer stay.

Land of Jurançon wine but also of the Roussanne peach, duck, cheese and other delicacies, Cœur de Béarn offers delicious discoveries. Assiettes de Pays, Maîtres Restaurateurs and other small producers have forged a way of life infused with a sense of conviviality.

Conviviality and pleasure are always at the core of Cœur de Béarn. Traditions, local cuisine, gastronomy and music are a part of our daily lives. From Orthez to Monein, harvest parties, local festivities, classical music festivals and jazz concerts are but some of the many events that will enchant you throughout the seasons!

Cultural Centers

Words of the heart (of culture)

In Cœur de Béarn, we love to go out all year round, to meet new faces, share and learn. Many activities, gatherings, lectures and exhibits are offered at the libraries of Orthez and Mourenx.
